soldered circles

I'm afraid this is a bit of a dull post (aren't they all!) with only one photo.  The Wonderful Mum and I went to a class at The Bead Shop Nottingham to practice working with solder again.  Last time we made copper components and I made my favourite piece of jewellery: this copper bunny necklace.

 This time we were working with sterling silver wire and I made my second favourite necklace ever!  I really should get it together to do some soldering at home as I really do love the results.

This simple piece is 3 wire circles, hammered to give them texture (I only hammered the outer two), then soldered to make continuous circles.  It's then simply hung on a chain.  I like it because it's understated and though I usually wear more statement kind of jewellery, I like something elegant once in a while.

    This is a beautiful necklace - really elegant and sophisticated. Congratulations! I often wish I could solder - just simple things like jump rings, so that jewellery is more secure and won't work open.
    Best wishes for a creative a happy week.

    Oh I like your new necklace! It's exactly my cup of tea. I think it will come handy for many occasion and the nice thing is that's it's not heavy (I can't stand heavy stuff around my neck; must be my age!!!)
